AFS Workshop

Our school organized an AFS Virtual Effect+ Workshop for us, which was held on 27th and 29th July after school hours. It was an interactive workshop hosted by Ms. Sarita Bhadwar in the presence of our school’s AFS coordinator Ms. Shalu Seth. Through these communicative sessions, we learned about the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. We were taught about the importance of the change-makers in our society and how each and every individual could become one. We also interacted with Ms. Suyashi Dwivedi, who is the founder of the organization- ‘Free Pustakalaya’ and a well-known changemaker of the society. She is an example for youngsters like us, that we need to be the change we want to see in the world.
Later in the workshop, we shared our point of view about different social problems of the society, from problems like the orthodox mindsets of people pertaining to lack of peace, justice and strong institutions in the world. We discussed what changes we could currently make at the grassroot level to create an impact and a better world that is safer and just. We also participated in quizzes and activities organized by Sarita ma’am to widen our horizons about the UNSDGs. After the workshop, we worked on the tasks assigned to us and submitted them on time. This workshop proved to be a very enlightening and insightful experience. We are looking forward to having more such opportunities that will help us open our eyes towards a world, we are yet to discover.
